Chapter 78

After the matter of Zhu's family was settled, a few days later, on the day of the college's holiday, he specially visited Ning's house.

When Zhu Hanshan came, he also brought a basket of vegetables, fruits and eggs, and even made silver and other villagers buy a chicken. If it is in the countryside, it is OK to send these things, but it is difficult to put them at the gate of Ningfu.

Zhu Hanshan is very embarrassed, but in the way of Zhu grandma's advice, or brazen came to the door.

Fortunately, neither Jiang Yunlan nor Ning Yanting showed any concern on his face. He not only accepted them enthusiastically, but also worried about whether these things would cause him any burden.

Zhu Hanshan said with some embarrassment: "thanks to miss Ning and his highness an Wang, now my family's debts have been paid off. I have copied books for the study every month, and the subsidy silver given by an Wang, as well as the prize money in the Academy. My life has been better than before. My grandmother said, "let me come and thank you."

Jiang Yunlan also worried: "I heard that your house has not been taken back?"

I wish Hanshan relaxed and not disappointed: "the house has been sold by those people, but I can't get it back. But I will continue to copy books for you and buy a new house."

"On weekdays, you still have to go to the academy to study. Zhujiacun is far away from the capital. It will take more than half a day to come and go back. I still have a small yard in my hand, which is in the capital. It's more convenient for you to take your grandmother to the capital." Jiang Yunlan said.

Zhu Hanshan quickly refused: "Auntie has helped Hanshan a lot, can send someone to take care of grandma, Hanshan has been grateful, can't give aunt any more trouble."

"This is no trouble. If you have any trouble on weekdays, remember to tell us. Otherwise, if Ning Lang knows, he wants to know that we have done nothing, and he will blame us."

Zhu Hanshan couldn't help laughing. He nodded, but he didn't want to trouble others.

Tuojiang Yunlan conveyed his thanks and wished Hanshan to leave those things behind and leave in a hurry.

What he brought, Jiang Yunlan was sent to the kitchen, and the fruit was washed and sent to the warm room. Jiang Yunlan personally carried the past, and there is a snack just made in the kitchen.

When she went, Ning Nuan was reading a letter. As soon as she entered the door, Ning Nuan quickly folded the letter and put it back in the envelope.

"Ah Nuan, what are you looking at?"

"It's my brother's news, and Wang an sent me his brother's news." Ning Nuan handed her another envelope: "king an said in his letter that his brother had made great achievements in Qingzhou."

"Really?" Jiang Yunlan's heart first joy, immediately took the letter over, unfolded from the beginning to the end carefully, she looked at it attentively, but also did not find Ning Nuan secretly hiding another letter in her arms.

Indeed, the letter said something about Ning Lang. It is said that after Ning Lang arrived in Qingzhou, he met the mountain bandits as expected. However, with his own social skills, he began to be brothers with the bandit leader. After staying in Qingzhou for a few days, he actually became the brother of the mountain bandit leader. I heard that all the mountain bandits began to call the five kings of Ninglang.

The reason why they are called "five kings" is that these mountain bandits had four leaders at first. When Ning Lang arrived there, he could not surpass their seniority.

When Jiang Yunlan finished reading, she couldn't help but draw. She put down the letter and said, "mother, I haven't seen it before. Your brother still has this talent. Now it seems that although he can't get fame and fame, he can't do business. It's very good to be a king of mountains. "

Ning warm can't help laughing: "if you want my brother to be a king of mountains, I'm afraid there will be no mountain bandits in Qingzhou."

Jiang Yunlan thought about it and thought that what she said was also very reasonable.

What the mountain bandits did was licking blood on the point of the knife. Ning Lang didn't dare to do it.

"Ah Nuan, try this fruit." Jiang Yunlan said: "this is what Zhu Hanshan just brought here. They planted it in zhujiacun. He also brought a lot of fruits and vegetables. I sent them to the kitchen. You can taste them at noon."

Rather warm concern ground asks: "Niang, how to say the thing of Zhu family?"

"What else can I say? Is it just getting better? Zhu Hanshan's temperament, you know, he is not willing to accept what we propose on our own initiative. We have sent people around to look after it. If something happens, we can know clearly. We must do what you promised your brother. Besides, without debt, I wish Hanshan a better and better life after that. " Jiang Yunlan stopped and said, "king an made a head for him. Everyone knows that Zhu Hanshan is covered by an Wang, and no one dares to bully him."

"So I can rest assured."

"Oh, by the way, Mrs. Xue told me about Liu Hong As soon as she mentioned this, Jiang Yunlan felt very sad: "I really didn't expect that the Liu family almost married the Xue family. I heard Mrs. Xue say that or miss Xue herself said she wanted to refuse. Mrs. Xue was still surprised. She specially came to ask me what happened."

"It's just that Liu Hong said behind his back that an Wang was bad and was discovered by Miss Xue." Ning Nuan said with a smile: "Miss Xue doesn't go out of the house. After hearing what he said, she believed it. Until she saw an Wang with her own eyes, she didn't know that Liu Hong had lied. Liu Hong and an Wang didn't have much in common. She framed people in vain. Miss Xue was naturally angry.""Well, if the Liu and Xue families get married, my mother doesn't know what to do."

The Liu family secretly took refuge in the prince. If they were married to the Xue family, would they not be courting the Xue family for the prince? Jiang Yunlan had a hard time finding Mrs. Xue such a good tempered person, and miss Xue's temperament was simple, and she really didn't want miss Xue to be involved in the storm of seizing the throne.

Besides, Mrs. Liu can make an intention to marry her innocent daughter to Ning Lang, which shows that Mrs. Liu is not a good one.

Jiang Yunlan pondered for a while, thinking about this matter, and immediately couldn't sit still. She quickly stood up and planned to go to Mrs. Xue and tell her about it.

She left in a hurry, until her figure disappeared, rather warm just from the arms will just put away the letter. She took the letter out of the envelope, found where it had not been read, and continued to read it.

These days, she did not meet with an Wang, an Wang's heart is very resentful, sent a letter is also thick, let Ning warm can see for a long time.

"Miss." Xiangtao couldn't help looking at her several times: "this letter is sent by an Wang. If you let the lady know, I'm afraid the lady will scold the maid again."

Ning Nuan finished reading, folded the letter, put it back in the envelope, took a fire fold to light it, and then said, "then you don't want your mother to know, just go?"

"But I can't help it." Xiangtao's whole face wrinkled up: "I think about this matter in my heart. I wish I could tell my wife about it immediately. Miss, even if you want the maid to hold it, the maid will not hold it for long. Maybe the lady will not find out that one day the maid talks in a dream when she is asleep, and she will go out of the room

"I just looked at the letter."

It is not only a glance, but also unwilling to let his wife find out. Their young lady had just hidden the letter secretly, but his wife didn't see it, but she could see it clearly.

Xiangtao hesitated for a while, but she couldn't help asking curiously: "Miss, now you are so concerned about the affairs of his royal highness, isn't it..."

Before she finished her words, Ning Nuan knocked her head. Fragrant peach Oh, immediately swallow the rest of the words back.

"You girl, what nonsense." Rather warm rebuke a way softly: "if you again nonsense, can be I accuse."

Fragrant peach dare not mention it again.

If she doesn't mention it, it doesn't mean that an Wang has stopped thinking.

Wang Quan often ran to the gate of Ning mansion. Every time, he took their Lord's orders and sent things to Ning girl. Unfortunately, he was still blocked out of the gate of Ning mansion. Only the gatekeeper of Ning mansion was repeatedly stuffed with silver and made a lot of money. On the other side, even the dark guards sent by King an secretly put things at the door of ningnuan's house according to their Lord's wishes. As soon as she went out, she could see them immediately.

Even when Miss Xue came, she was found an opportunity by an Wang.

Ever since I met Ning Nuan at the Jinghe Princess banquet, Miss Xue and Ning Nuan have more contacts. Even miss Xue is more willing to go out than usual. However, every time she goes out, she comes to Ning Fu to find Ning Nuan. However, Mrs. Xue is still not happy. Even when Ning Yanting meets Mr. Xue, he is always not easy-going and gives him a good look Yan Ting was flattered.

This time, Miss Xue came with a box in her hand.

When Ning Nuan saw her enter the door, he immediately picked up his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the box in her hand: "you come and come. What are you doing with your gift?"

"I didn't bring it to you." Miss Xue gently put the box on the table and said softly, "I met a man on the road. He asked me to bring this thing to you."

"Who did you meet?"

Miss Xue bowed her head and said with embarrassment, "it's your highness king an."

Rather warm heart way, as expected.

Miss Xue secretly raised her eyes to look at her face. Seeing that there was no dissatisfaction on her face, she gave a long sigh of relief and explained, "king an stopped my carriage and asked me to teach you this. I didn't want to promise at first, but he said that if I didn't help, he would not leave. I was afraid and I should. After I promised, the king gave this to me, and then he left

Miss Xue hesitated and wondered, "what's in this?"

The box looked very valuable. Ning Nuan opened it and found that there was a set of jade ornaments, which were priceless and exquisite. She liked it after a glance. I think it took a lot of time to find an Wang. I was afraid that she would be stopped outside the door, so she asked Miss Xue to bring her here.

It's just

Ning Nuan closed the lid, handed the box to Xiangtao, and said to her, "send this back to an Wang."

The peach answered, took the box and ran out quickly.

"You don't want it?" Miss Xue was surprised: "I think an Wang has spent a lot of time."

"I have nothing to do with an Wang. If I take it, it's not good for him to misunderstand him." It's better to warm your mind and calm your mind.

Miss Xue tried: "but I think an Wang likes you very much."

"You are not only here to send gifts to king an, but also to marry him?" Rather warm look at her with a smile, said: "originally or you remind me, let me be careful not to be cheated by an Wang."Miss Xue blushed: "at first, I didn't know that anwang was a righteous man. What he said was true. I misunderstood him. But now I see, an Wang is infatuated with you. Don't you have half a heart in your heart? "

Rather warm heart read a move, the mouth said: "I listen to my mother's meaning."

Miss Xue will not talk about it again.

After several words, Miss Xue inquired about what happened that day: "later I left, and I don't know what happened after that. How is Master Zhu doing now?"

"His family's debts have been paid off, and the future will be better. Don't worry."

"Really? That's great. After I went back, I heard from the maid that he was so powerful that he was the top of the castle peak academy. He got the most prize money from an Wang

Ning warm nodded: "on learning, I wish you are really powerful."

"And I hear you say he's a friend of your brother's?"

"It's just that my brother and his classmates went on a trip to xiaofangshan. Zhujiacun is not far away from xiaofangshan, and I happened to meet him. My brother loves to make friends with people, and he has a good relationship with him. Later, we got to know each other."

Miss Xue said, "if you can make your brother like it, you must be a good man, right?"

Ning warm just want to answer, can think of Ning Lang before and now made friends, think of those friends, and think of now he is in Qingzhou Mountain King, suddenly do not know whether to answer.

But miss Xue said to herself, "I wish you a man of noble conduct."

That's true.

But Ning Nuan heard something wrong from it.

She looked at Miss Xue suspiciously, thought for a while, and tried to say, "your mother has rejected Mr. Liu, but can you still be recommended?"

Miss Xue sighed softly. She looked at her shyly and shyly. Her eyes blinked flustered, her eyelashes trembled, and she wanted to say something. She hesitated.

Ning warm heart know the situation, she asked: "your mother is how to say?"

Miss Xue faltered and said, "my mother said, don't worry too much..."

"Do you have someone you want?"

"This..." Miss Xue avoided his sight, and her eyes wandered, but her face was stained with thin clouds, visible to the naked eye, and her ears were quickly red under the warm gaze. Miss Xue said in a low voice: "my mother said that if I wanted to find a suitable match, I thought in my heart that it didn't seem to matter either..."

Ning Nuan got it.

Miss Xue's appearance may have attracted Zhu Hanshan.

On weekdays, she seldom steps out of the door, and meets few men outside. What she seldom sees is Zhu Hanshan. First of all, because of Zhu Hanshan's family background, he sympathized with him for a while. Later, when people talked about the excellence of Zhu Hanshan, he inevitably had different ideas about Zhu Hanshan.

Ning Nuan didn't take the initiative to mention it, but said: "when autumn Wei arrives this year, there will be more people going to Beijing to rush for the exam. By next year's Chunwei, there will be a new number one scholar. Many adults in Chaozhong also come from poor families. If you don't think it's suitable for you, you'd better wait until Chunwei is over. If you're a champion, Mrs. Xue will certainly like it."

Miss Xue's eyes lit up at once.

She was surprised to see Ning Nuan, open mouth want to say what, hesitated again and again, and swallow back, looking at Ning warm's eyes is to say, want to say something, but dare not say.

Rather warm just did not see, and sighed: "it is a pity that my brother is not in the capital. I'm afraid I will miss the autumn gate this year."

"It doesn't matter." Miss Xue clumsily comforted: "miss this time, the next time is the same."

Ning Nuan said: "before my brother left the capital, I always thought about Mr. Zhu. I wish you outstanding talent and learning. I think I will end up in autumn this year. With his knowledge, I will certainly be able to pass the examination. If my brother knows, I will be happy for you."

Miss Xue's eyes are brighter.

She looked at Ning warm, and all the words she wanted to say in her heart were hidden in her eyes. She hesitated to look at her. Her eyes were full of expectations. I hope she can talk more about Zhu Gongzi. It's a pity, rather warm as if do not understand her eyes in general, but did not mention.

Miss Xue's heart seemed to be dough. She was kneaded in her hands and kneaded and twisted.

She stayed at Ning's house until dusk, watching the day getting late, then got up to leave. When she went home in the carriage, Miss Xue was still very sorry. She thought that she would come back to find Ning Nuan and listen to Mr. Zhu again.

She was sitting in the carriage, which staggered past the market. Outside came the shouting of hawkers and the bustle of pedestrians. Now it happened that the Academy was over, and a group of students passed by the carriage. Their voice came into the carriage and immediately made Miss Xue curious.

Her eyes fell on the curtain of the carriage and stretched out her hand, hesitating for a moment.

Every time she went out, the most difficult thing was that she was afraid of strangers in the street, but now there were all strangers outside the carriage. If the carriage stopped, she would be worried and frightened all the way. But just listening to the voices of those college students, she had the idea to have a look with her own eyes.After living in the capital for many years, Miss Xue is not very clear about what the capital looks like.

When she hesitated, the scholars outside the carriage seemed to have mentioned the name of Zhu Hanshan, which immediately attracted Miss Xue's attention. She listened attentively, but it was not very true across the carriage.

Those scholars seem to have gone further and further.

Miss Xue's heart was in a hurry. She did not care about anything. She quickly opened the curtain of the carriage.

Suddenly, all the sounds from outside entered her ears. Miss Xue's face turned white as soon as she moved. Even her hand holding the curtain of the carriage turned white. The servant girl beside her was even more startled, and helped her to pull up the curtain of the carriage again.

"Miss!" Servant girl worried way: "are you ok?"

Miss Xue calmed her breath, and her face gradually calmed down.

And those scholars are completely far away, even if Miss Xue listened attentively, still could not hear any news.

She could not help but be disappointed, drooping her head, very depressed.

There are still some regrets in my heart.

If she hadn't been afraid, she might have heard what those people said.

Miss Xue's face was gloomy and her head was drooping. When she was losing, suddenly the name of Zhu Hanshan came into her ears. Miss Xue was stunned, then her eyes lit up and looked out of the carriage.

The voice said, "I wish Hanshan is really powerful. Today, the master praised him again. In our academy, he is the most powerful."

Other voices echoed: "yes, I hope Hanshan will be able to pass the imperial examination this year."

"When we said it, there was light on our face."

"Not really."

What they said was really good luck!

Miss Xue's eyes were bright, and she concentrated on listening to the scholars outside. But the carriage and the scholars went in the opposite direction. The voice was getting farther and farther away, but nothing could be heard.

As soon as Miss Xue was in a hurry, she immediately stretched out her hand and pulled the curtain off the carriage.

She raised her eyes and saw a scholar in the uniform of Qingshan academy passing by the carriage. The man was slightly bowed, thin, and looked like a wise man from afar. Miss Xue was stunned, and her eyes immediately stuck to the man's face.

The man also seemed to feel her gaze. He raised his eyes and looked at her. His eyes were on the right side. After only one glance, the man immediately moved away from her eyes.

The wheels of the carriage squeaked and squeaked. Miss Xue looked at the front of her stupidly. She even forgot to turn her head. She soon lost the figure of the man in front of her.

Not Zhu Hanshan, who is it?

Miss Xue was so stunned that she felt her heart pounding. She didn't even hear the maid calling several times.

After a long time, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. She could not forget the sight she had just glimpsed in her mind.
